Sue Quote #104
Quote from Sue in A Birthday Story
Sue: What do you think, Brick? I made the "b" myself.
Brick: Great, great... Though it looks like rain... Much like the day I was born.
Sue: [gasps] Uh... Yeah. Oh, God. I totally forgot to wrap your present. I gotta go.
Brick: All right, Sue. What's going on? [Sue gasps] What's the deep, dark secret everyone's hiding?
Sue: Nothing.
Brick: I know what it is. I was adopted, wasn't I? That'd explain a lot.
Sue: You're not adopted, Brick.
Brick: Then why is your lip sweating?
Sue: Because... I was afraid I'd ruin your surprise. Might as well tell you now. I wrote down the whole story of the day you were born. That's the gift I had to wrap.
Brick: Really?
Sue: Yeah. You can read it if you want now. It's in my closet. In the back behind the hula-hoop. Do you see it?
[Sue closes her closet door and ties the handles together]
Brick: [o.s.] Hey!

Quote from Brick
Frankie: [v.o.] Iis there anything better than a surprise party? The only hard part is keeping the secret. But when you pull it off, it's something no one ever forgets. Yep, everyone loves a surprise party.
Brick: I invited my whole class to my birthday on Saturday.
Frankie: [v.o.] Surprise.
Frankie: Saturday? You're just telling me about this now? Oh, Brick. I don't have time to throw a party for 20 kids in 3 days.
Brick: Here's a list of everyone's food allergies and dietary restrictions. We all voted on a peanut butter cake, except for two kids who will die if they go anywhere near it. I'll let you hash that out.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Okay, Brick, here's the thing. You invited 25 kids to the party, but everything comes in packs of 24. We're not gonna buy a whole extra set just for one kid, so you're gonna have to uninvite someone.
Brick: I can't.
Frankie: Come on. There's always one kid nobody wants at the party.
Brick: That's me, Mom.
Quote from Brick
Brick: After careful consideration, I've come to realize something. I have the coolest birthday story ever. [Frankie sighs] Axl and Sue only get one day. I have a whole month.
Frankie: You know, Brick, what I didn't get to tell you the other day was that the moment I held you in my arms. The second time. I knew you were mine. Aw. Blake Ferguson's got nothing on you. Even his name: Blake. It's boring.
Mike: It's no Brick, I'll tell ya that.
Brick: Hey, everyone makes mistakes, even me. Remember that mysteriously broken lamp you grounded Axl for? I walked into it while reading. I was also the one who put the plastic bag In the garbage disposal. It wasn't an accident. I just wanted to see what would happen. But I know you'll forgive me, as I forgive you.
Frankie: Ah.
Brick: Oh, and, um... Here's a list of additional birthday gifts I'd like. The pony doesn't have to be black. Just not white. The white ones are impossible to keep clean.
Frankie: There's over 50 things on here.
Brick: You don't have to get 'em all now. You can take a month... Give or take a day.
